General Radio Discussion / Re: Pirate Radio Station Prompts Residents to Call the Feds...

« on: July 06, 2015, 2149 UTC »

Channel 12 can't find an appropriate word to replace "hijack" ? How about "broadcast" or "operate" ? Is it really that difficult to use the correct word?

Also, they said in paragraph 7 "hijacking a radio station." I guess hijacking a radio station *is* a bad idea! Are they kidnapping the staff, too?

Fair signal here. I think it sounds like classical clarinet, but I'm probably wrong.
0015 Repeating piano melody with some other sounds
0017 Sounds like a remix of Axel F
0020 Remix of "Popcorn"
Thanks for the show!

Thanks again!

I tuned in at 1826. Heard what sounded like an old-time radio show, then a Pink Floyd song with what sounded like one side of a phone conversation in the background. Then Van Halen "I'll Wait" and Duran Duran "Girls on Film." Nice signal, but audio sounds thin and tinny. Sounds like audio from King of the Hill and then Kelly's Heroes
Thanks for the broadcast!

Just caught the last min. or so. Heard the announcer mention that he was going to check HFU for reports. Also heard the IDs & that he was using "low power, 25 watts." Very good signal here, but the audio was overmodulated. I thought the ID sounded like KATH, but I might be wrong because of the overmod. Also, I wasn't able to get it recorded.

Thanks for the show!

QSLs Received / Re: Unique Physical Items Received as a QSL

One difference for me is that I have a plaster fish from Radio Repulso. I also have a rubber chicken from CSIC. I think those are my only physical item QSLs, in addition to the others that you mentioned.

Nice signal with YL computer ID, "broadcasting from jfarley's mother's basement." I believe this is Twangy Radio

Checked out HFU logs, tuned in, & am hearing Stones "Let's Spend the Night Together" at 2345, with a fair signal. Haven't heard WAZU ID yet, but I'm assuming it is. If so, it's my 1st time hearing the station outside of 43m & my 1st time hearing a North American pirate on 31m in a long time.
Thanks for the show!

Heard here, too, with a good signal. It was the Swedish Rhapsody station & it sounded like the Conet Project recording of the station
